I have memories way back. Not quite infant, but somewhere between 1 and 2 years old, I started to string it together. One trigger was fear of sleep. How do I know I wake up the same person? Seems silly right? Well, past me without a whole lot of experience was really concerned. I can remember a ton after that time. What I find really interesting is both of us made some active choice to remember. Like we ended up with self awareness really early. For me, it was mostly about unanswered questions. I have memories that are strongest from that time: One was flicking the spring in my crib. Swoosh doing, doing, da,da,doing! That is me earliest one. Why does it bounce like that? And the noise! If I flick one today, on one of those Another was a trip to the neighbors. Their kid was named Cash. That is what we call money! WTF is with that? Cash took me to play down stairs and they had a ton of nice stuff down there. Fencing for a ring of thieves. I recalled enough to nail them many years later to which my mom confessed they moved to get away from those people. Lol. Another was this big bee. I looked at it and bet I was faster and stomped! Ouweeeee! The need died, but also totally stung me. Was not faster. Ugh. Boy, I can recall our porch, welcome mat, bright clear summer day, that bee and my foot going down. . I have more. Turning on the TV was vivid. Old tube one made noises as it came up. And smells. I recall it like it was yesterday. Anything intriguing and I go into record mode. Everything about that time gets saved. Where I was who I was with, happenings... I was afraid I might forget and never learn the thing one learns on one of those. I still do it. Not as often now due to experience, but if it is really new to me, I will feel that switch and off it goes.
